Hi Sam,

Thank you -- that's a useful pointer, and it settles the question of how
a splash should be drawn without fbcon: a DRM client at
drm_client_setup(), next to drm_log, not a drm_fb_helper hook.

Francesco's series is genuinely inspiring work, and it would be very
useful to me if it could take a CLUT224 image -- unfortunately it can't.
It only accepts an uncompressed 24-bit RGB888 BMP, whereas our logo is
paletted, which is what keeps it small: 17 KiB for 800x480 rather than
around a megabyte. So as it stands the format doesn't line up with what
we carry.

Without looking at it in detail I would assume adding CLUT224 support
would be doable. Step 1 would be to add a format conversion in
drm_format_helper and use that. You may also find this useful for other
purposes.
